President Obama paid tribute to the four Americans slain this week in Libya and again tried to tamp down anti-American anger around the globe in his weekly radio address on Saturday.

“I have made it clear that the United States has a profound respect for people of all faiths. We stand for religious freedom. And we reject the denigration of any religion — including Islam,” the president said in the prerecorded remarks.

Bet this was a news bulletin for the religious bodies that object to the government’s edict that they must obey government rather than God in the matters of contraception and abortion coverage in their employee health plans.

Not when that religion makes people fly planes into buildings believing that doing that looks good their god and gets them into their version of heaven.

Islam is disgusting. It isn’t peaceful. Any religion that converts at the edge of a sword, and threatens death if you try to leave it, is not one any thinking American can rationally support.

Just because they may not have enough clout to act that way here doesn’t mean sharia creep isn’t occurring and they do act like this in coutries where they have enough power to act that way and not get into trouble doing so.

i’m an American. and I DO denigrate some religions.
example, the bloody religion of the Aztecs.
...cutting the beating hearts out of thousands.
-
and,
i do denigrate a religion,
that teaches hatred of Jews, teaches they are literally
descendants of pigs and apes.
i do denigrate a religion, that teaches the most perfect man, has sex with an age 9 girl, when he was 56
(and he “thighed” her, etc., for 3 years before that!!!).
i do denigrate a religion, that teaches it is ok to rape, kill, and lie to, anyone of ANY other religion.
-
...on top of which, Islam is seditious by definition, and should be banned.

Hey, Barry, you don't speak for me. I DO denigrate the false religion of Islam. I just don't go around killing Muslims. Instead, I tolerate them. That's what tolerance is, you know, when you choose not to kill or imprison those who are doing things of which you disapprove.

There is no god called "Allah," and Mohammed is his false prophet. Piss be upon them.

I’ve been saying on here for years that the reason the Left and others finds it easy to denigrate Christianity is that there is no danger in it. Maybe that should change? We used to be a very dangerous people. Just ask the Saracens, Turks, Vikings, Cathars, Levantines, Barbary pirates, etc.

Obama: Americans reject denigration of any religion  including Islam

Administrative Law Construction Lesson: When a term-of-art-class-descriptor such as "including" is used, it declares the creation of that term of art for the specified statement. Therefore, Obama actually, legally said (as head federal administrator):

"For the purposes of this statement, I am hereby legally defining a term of art class called "any religion." This term of art class includes the componant "Islam." As I have not used any form of the word "include" for anyything else, there are no other componants in this term of art class."

Construction is therefore: "Americans reject denigration of any religion]  including ONLY Islam."

In other words, right in front of everyone's face, the POTUS stated that:

Any religion in America may be denigrated except Islam.

That is the legal meaning of what he said - as the President of the US.

Running like a big chicken from a group of thugs that threaten to kill you over some stupid video is not respecting religion....its bowing down to thugs, and falling right into their trap. Obama is ignorant and incompetent in defending this country.

I think we could add Greek Orthodox to the list of traditional cultural Christians, but because they are not a large group, they tend to be ignored. However, they will certainly come under the guns of HHS Secretary Sibelius if Obama wins this election.

“Obama: Americans reject denigration of any religion  including Islam”...............

It occurs to me that by his standards, he is telling the truth. He himelf is not an American, and he is pro-Islam since he was raised in that religion. So, he is telling the truth according to his Muslim understanding.

He notes the tolerance of various faiths, and sees it as good. Since he is not American, he does not need to live by these lofty goals. See, how sly he is?????

Where is the outcry of the atheist organizations that proudly hate all religions, largely expressed most especially against Christianity and Judaism, of course. Their opinion is being ignored, and after all they are citizens of the USA, and in the past Obama has harkened unto them.
